Again, our government's budget measures are assisting local businesses, particularly in regional Australia, to expand into global markets. Regional Australians are also known for their aspiration. That is why, as a government, we're investing $20 million in the new Export Hubs program. This is all about helping our small businesses in regional Australia. We want them to expand, we want them to become exporters and, ultimately, we want them to create more jobs for Australians. This is all about giving local businesses the information they need about their competitive strengths in order to enter global supply chains. Again, this is all about a government that understands that, if you put in place the right policy framework and you grow our businesses, they employ more Australians, because they're creating more jobs.
